Bell Rock is among the many towering mountains and vistas of Red Rock State Park. It’s a 3.6-mile hike from the parking lot of Bell Rock Pathway. There are amazing views of the burnt umber colored mountains and forest green trees below. Most of the pathway has a wide, hard surface, but it’s a steeper climb up to the top, so be sure to wear shoes with good grip. There are amazing panoramic views of the prominent red rock formations like Courthouse Butte as you ascent. We climbed up to the top, and meditated for 10 minutes. It was completely silent with a slight breeze, and felt really energizing.
